I OBTAINED A PH.D. IN BIOCHEMISTRY, MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY FROM NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY IN CHICAGO. I THEN COMPLETED A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON IN SEATTLE WHERE MY RESEARCH LED ME TO A CAREER AT HOFFMANN- LA ROCHE IN BASEL, SWITZERLAND
I have spent over two decades in multiple therapeutic areas including cardiovascular and metabolic indications, renal and retinal diseases, sensorineural hearing loss, and orphan indications.
Through my own laboratory research and in collaboration with academic and industry scientists, I have identified new molecular targets, optimized small molecule drug candidates, and created the understanding of disease biology to quickly establish clear clinical proof-of-concept in patients.
I successfully transitioned my career from the global pharmaceutical industry to the entrepreneurial environment of startup biotech companies where I have developed expertise in intellectual property, regulatory affairs, investor relations, and business development.
Through Wright Pharma Consult, I share my extensive expertise with diverse clients including Venture Capital and privately funded start-ups as well as academic groups. My goal is to help you create the greatest value for your science and your promising potential new medicines.
I look forward to working with you.
